According to the url you posted, this message means you're using socks5
in this case. But in any case, it "ought" to be working. We send a 1 in
byte 3 of the reply, which means IPv4. In
http://www.cs.umb.edu/~bill/java/jdk1.4/src/java/net/InetAddress.java
it defines IPv4 to be 1.

Which version of Tor are you using? Do you have this problem with both
0.0.8.1 and 0.0.9rc5?

Are you certain that the java you're using is the source you pointed to?
